1979 — The Tigers trade Rusty Staub, a spring holdout who got off to a slow start, to his former team Montreal for a minor-league player to be named later, catcher Randy Schafer.

1958 — Jim Bunning pitches a 3-0 no-hitter over the Red Sox, striking out a dozen. Only two walks and a hit batsman mar his performance as he wins his sixth game in seven decisions.
